Web Design from the Dordogne, for the World

Port 80 Services is brought to you by Will Roberts and Matt Frisch. Based in the Dordogne in South West France, we offer a full web design service, with clients across France, the UK and the world.

Matt has been working with websites since the late '90s. The majority of this time was in the finance and media industries in the US and UK. He specialises in dynamic and complex websites for business clients with more advanced needs.

With over 15 years' experience, Will is our resident designer and SEO person. He makes brochure and WordPress websites. He is also a fluent French speaker and makes websites in French and English.

Les Jardins Tranquilles

Robert, owner

Our original web site had become dated and boring. We contacted Port 80 Services and asked them to come up with a new design and have been delighted with the result not only visually but in the increased number of visitors to Les Jardins. The costs were easily covered in the first few months of our summer season.

Andrew, owner & founder

I'm really chuffed with my new website, it's just perfect. Feedback from customers has been really positive. All the information is easy to find and, even better, sales have been through the roof now that people can buy directly off the website.

Our Latest Project

This is the one of the latest websites we created. You can read a bit about it below, or check out our portfolio page for more examples of our work.

Bazadaise 33

Bazadaise 33 is the website of Caron and Andrew McCulloch, farmers who bred the Bazadaise breed of cattle in the UK. Now based in Gironde France, they needed a website for their new business. We made a responsive WordPress website with an order form for customers to buy boxed beef for local delivery.

Maybe it’s because of the recent change of President here in France. Maybe it’s because it’s spring time.
